Abstract
System and techniques for evicting a cache line with pending control request are described herein. A memory request—that includes an address corresponding to a set of cache lines—can be received. A determination can be made that a cache line of the set of cache lines will be evicted to process the memory request. Another determination can be made that a control request has been made to a host from the memory device and that the control request pending when it is determined that the cache line will be evicted. Here, a counter corresponding to the set of cache lines can be incremented (e.g., by one) to track the pending control request in face of eviction. Then, the cache line can be evicted.
